However, it's        what he *didn't* say that's relevant; he didn't say that this was a        bug.              Under what circumstances is the PC speaker beeping at you?              Regards,       Martin              --- OpenXP 5.0.38        * Origin: Bitz-Box - Bradford - UK (2:240/2188.31)       SEEN-BY: 15/2 123/1970 226/17 229/107 354 426 1014 240/2100 2188 5138       SEEN-BY: 240/5832 5853 246/2027 249/206 317 400 280/464 292/854 317/3       SEEN-BY: 320/219 322/757 342/200 393/68 2432/200 390 2454/119       PATH: 240/2188 5832 229/426           |
